Student Leadership Elective

Leadership Development in FM

The goal of NCAFP's Leadership Elective is to increase a student's knowledge of organized medicine and its role in medical education, including programs designed specifically for medical students and residents. Participating students will conduct this four-week program at NCAFP headquarters in Raleigh and complete a special project of their own design once approved by their preceptor/sponsor.

What You Learn-

See first hand the interactions between the family medicine specialty society and its national organization (AAFP), state medical society (NCMS) and other specialty groups.

Demonstrate understanding of the need that practicing physicians have for a specialty society which provides them with timely information re: current events in medicine and education to help them care for patients.

Gain more insight into legislative events which directly affect practicing physicians and those in educational settings.

Complete a special project during this time designed with approval from the preceptor/sponsor.
